My opinion would be to factor out the notebook interface as a completely separate package that happens to be useful for sage, but is also useful for lots of other software. So instead of a lite version of sage, and a big version of sage which is a superset, the notebook would just be a package that comes along with sage like bunzip2 does, and it could also be made available separately in distributions. This sounds pretty close to what you said, but it wouldn't include sympy or other mathematical functionality.
Maybe in *addition* there could be a "sagelite" which includes the notebook and a few other pure python pieces. But I definitely think factoring out *just* the notebook would be a wonderful gift to the community.
